honestly though not to sound like the joker but the sooner you realize "normality" is a social construct and everyone's concept of "normal" is personal and subjective and you will never be "normal" or "socially acceptable" to everyone so you might as well just find or make a space and community where you can be the version of yourself that makes you happy the sooner your life will change for the better
@scythepringles61 eh
One of my personal favorite things to make, Rose Salt has a variety of uses. Whether you use it as a scrub in the shower to cleanse yourself and your energies, as a relaxing soak in a warm bath to relax in, or sprinkle it in doorways and on windowsills as a form of protection, it’s multipurpose and very easy to make! What You’ll Need: - Dried Roses - Salt - A Vessel With a Lid to Keep It In - A Mortar & Pestle Optional: - Rose Essential Oil Steps:
Take the petals and buds of your Roses, save the stems and thorns for other spells, and grind them finely with your Mortar & Pestle.
Add Salt.
Mix both well until they are combined well.
Add the mixture into the vessel you chose.
Add the essential oil, seal the vessel, and gently shake to combine everything together more easily.
One of the many properties of Roses is Protection as is with Salt so combining the two gives you a simple, fragrant protective material to keep around your home.
not maiko related, but this a very important post about what's going on in my country Colombia, it'd mean a lot if you read this until the end and help me spread it. I'll try to be as brief as possible.
tw// police brutality, murder, blood, sexual assault
Seven days ago Colombians have been protesting (yes, in the middle of a pandemic because the goverment happens to be more dangerous than a virus) for a couple of reasons like a tax reform, health reform, murder of social and enviromental leaders and alarming increase of femicides. The things is, protests in all the cities have always been peaceful, but the goverment is not only not listening to us but ordering to attack us and kill us. We're being noticed by others thanks to social media only (like twitter, facebook) where people are using hashtags, making livestreams and asking for help because the media in our country isn't speaking for us, we're being silenced and censored so the international media and other countries don't know about the abuse and violence we're going through.
All we want is other people know about what's going on so we can get the help we need, I'm using this platform to make it possible because the censorship by the Colombian media prevents the world and even colombians themselves from seeing the excessive abuse of the armed forces.
here are some twitter threads where there's more detailed info, please help us spread, please reblog, RT🙏🙏🙏🙏

I think most of you know of the war between Russia and Ukraine and how it started today. As a Ukrainian myself, I don't want this war, nobody does. I live in Italy currently but I messaged my friends in Ukraine about the stituation and here are their responses:
-This is absolute madness! I heard an explosion this morning, shortly later there was an alarm and out teachers said to prepare because they would send everyone home. I'm preparing the bags, I'll text you later. (She's a college student)
-I don't know what to do... here in Kiev they're bombarding everything. My wife and kids have our bags ready and my wife's mother told us to come where she is, because the war hasn't started there yet. We would go right now if we could, but what's happening on the roads right now is pure madness. (Said by my Uncle)
-Look, I don't fully understand what's going on. Teachers said that we won't be going to school, grandma says that they will cut out the light and gas, I'm really scared.
-I don't know what to do, they took my son to the front to fight with Bielorussians. I don't want him there, I want him back at home! (This lady was bawling her eyes out when my mom called her)
Please consider that I'm a 14 years old teenage girl and I'm really scared for my relatives and friends there. I'm not asking you to reblog, I'm just spreading awareness.
And to you Ukrainians, stay safe. Хай Бог вас береже.
One of my partners, @foofy-model-260 isn’t doing well and has asked me to make a one note a day post.
She’s decided to keep the reasons private, and you may dm them for details.
For every three notes she won’t consider doing anything. You are limited to eight notes per blog per day.

Why do we say that capitalism must be “dismantled”?
You’ll hear phrases like “Smash the state!” “Eat the rich!” and “Smash capitalism!”
And, yes, of course, but… :)
However relevant those sayings are, our work must be careful, highly organized and above all planned.
Because capitalism and all of its associated systems are not discrete, abstracted entities we can attack independently.
It is a structure, like a complicated machine with many thousands of working parts…
And right now it is connected to absolutely everything.
If we do this… [picks up huge hammer and smashes the machine]
Then a lot of vulnerable people will die.
The machine was built and improved and redesigned and patched over the course of generations. It is very good at its intended purpose, which is ultimately to generate profit.
Every human being alive today relies on the byproducts of the machine to survive, without exception.
The machine’s engineers want it to keep working like it does. In fact, they want to optimise it.
That will kill all remaining life on Earth.
So, we must destroy the machine, quickly and carefully
We must examine its deadly programs and mechanics and replace them with alternatives we built together.
The engineers don’t want us tampering with the machine.
However, we make it run…
So we can make it STOP. Together.
How will YOU help us to safely dismantle the machine?
p.s. My computer is on its last legs. If you would like me to draw you a little cartoon and help me get a new computer, learn more at this post.
you’re telling me that you didn’t have a greek mythology phase? what are you, straight?
